We had a great time playing in the snow this weekend. Payton had 5 friends over on Saturday night for his birthday party. We started out by playing and sledding in the snow all afternoon. Then we took them to a local hotel to spend the night. They swam, watched scary movies, ate way too much junk, played video games and had a great time. Best part of all - no mess to clean up at home!

Our neighbors built an awesome snow princess. Elyse said she was "beautiful."

Both the kids had so much fun sledding down a BIG hill in our neighborhood.

Here they go! Hold on tight!

Watching the boys.

It was a miracle no one got injured. These boys were fearless!

Going down sure is fun, but it's a looong way back up!

He's so handsome!

She's so precious!

Snowball fight!

Sledding with daddy.

Wwwweeeeeeee!

Mommy's turn!

I really thought Elyse wouldn't last very long outside since it was so cold, but she had a blast. Finally we had to drag her inside kicking and screaming. I think she could have sledded all day long!

Daddy's little girl.

We are home from school again today, but the roads are finally starting to melt so it looks like it will be back to school tomorrow. We sure did enjoy our four day weekend! This is the second year in a row that Payton has gotten an extended birthday break due to the weather (last year was the awful ice storm). Lucky guy!

Elyse started running a fever again last night, so I took her to the doctor this morning and she has ear infections in both ears. Poor girl. We just can't seem to get everyone well in our household! Get well soon little lady!
